LUCY’S LETTER Dear all, I trust you are keeping well and safe and that the recent easing of lockdown is filling you with an increasing sense of hope. Like us all I have been reflecting on some of the on-going impacts from the last year, and particularly on how work has changed for some of us. Those of us who are retired have been spared shouldering the same burden, but for those self employed this has perhaps been a really difficult time and for those who have lost employment this season has brought real financial hardship. Those furloughed have experienced more time with family but, as welcomed as this has been for most, free time is not always helpful. Reflecting further I see that we live in an achievement based culture that is set on education, wealth, status and fame. Culture very much messages: ‘I am what I do’. Looking to the Bible for wisdom, this is a false claim as a biblical view of work is something we do that allows us to show our identity; ‘I do what I am’. During the pandemic society has re-evaluated those jobs that otherwise might have been overlooked; nurses, nursing home carers, supermarket workers and farmers, packagers, refuge collectors, bus drivers. Lower paid jobs, by which workers serve the needs of others and help society function, these are the jobs that have been praised publicly, and rightly so. In Genesis chapter 2 Adam and Eve were put in a garden to cultivate. The Hebrew word abard means more fully ‘to draw out the potential of a raw material so that all might flourish’. I love this take on the value God places on work! It’s not for personal profit or power or ego, but valuable work is as a farmer takes soil and seed, rearranging it into a crop; or as a chef takes food and rearranges it into a meal; or as a craftsman rearranges a trunk of a tree and makes of it a table. This extends to those who might be in a season of no work. Think of a volunteer rearranging 8
his or her time to make loneliness a thing of the past; or a grandparent
invests time and love to drawing out a child’s potential.
I want to encourage us all, whether in or out of work, that our identity is
fixed in being someone who God loves. As we go about our week let’s
purpose to do things motivated by love, guided by a sense of adding
value and let’s do all things to the best of our ability. Love, blessing and a
sense of personal integrity transform any activity into something of
beautiful significance.
At St Mary’s we hope to serve you with love and compassion. Please let
us know if we can help practically or prayerfully. Our gathered services
are starting back slowly plus some new initiatives, so please check our
Facebook pages or ask to join our email list.
Blessings,
Rev Lucy

15A Sanctuary Day for our Times
6th March 2021
“I love your Sanctuary, Lord, the place where your glorious presence dwells”,
Psalm 26:8 (NLT)
It is odd to imagine that the idea to hold a Sanctuary Day in the Benefice
materialised somewhat out of the blue, back in the autumn of 2019.
Tricia and I had received an invitation from a long-
standing clergy friend, Ven Kevin Roberts, who was
Curate at the church near Reading where we had started
our married life. Kevin had been working with an
organisation named ReSource since 2016 and the
invitation was to join a day of retreat and inspiration at
Scargill House in Upper Wharfedale, to discover more
about the work of ReSource.
We accepted the invitation, despite knowing that we would already be
travelling back from a weekend trip to Wiltshire just the day before. Our level
of exhaustion wasn’t helped by a dank and foggy drive to Kettlewell but it was
an encouragement to meet up with Kevin and to see one or two other familiar
faces amongst the forty-odd attendees.
As the day unfolded with some times of worship and teaching, we soon found
our attention being grabbed by the realisation that the tiredness of keeping
‘little, local and ordinary’ churches running was an experience shared by many
others in the room; and when we heard that ReSource exists for the purpose of
equipping such churches by offering an investment of time and spiritual
refreshment through a Sanctuary Day, we could saw the potential for the
Tadcaster Benefice.
We were so pleased when Kevin and his wife Anne (who is also ordained)
agreed to come and lead the weekend for us – and also take our main Sunday
service during our Vacancy!
Of course, Covid-19 meant that the plans for an in-person gathering had to be
postponed twice; but moving to an online event meant that it could be opened
up more widely and a focus of the Day could be to process our experience and
effects of the coronavirus crisis.
16We were unsure as to how people would react to a retreat day: the answer to
that question is best left to those who were there…
How little do we know what God has planned for us for tomorrow let alone a
year in advance?
When the Sanctuary Day was advertised last May (2020) we had to admit to being a
little sceptical. As we understood it, the day was for PCC members. The subject being
what we were looking for in a new Vicar and the challenges of a “Vacancy”. Or that was
our perception. Then of course, Lockdown happened and is still happening (at time of
writing). We are extremely glad that Steve and Tricia pressed on with it, albeit in a
different format and under different circumstances, which proved to be more doable for
most of us. The theme of the day was completely different, due to the environment we
find ourselves in. After a year of Covid restrictions we looked at how the last year has
affected our Church, the way we operate, the positives and negatives that we have
learnt over the year and how we see our church going forward and developing in the
light of our experiences over the last year.
Our day started with introductions and a welcome to all and to Kevin and Anne
Roberts who led us through the day. Then a time to sit quietly, concentrating on our
breathing, My Jesus, My Saviour (one of Rita’s favourite hymns).
Session one was ‘Seeking Sanctuary’: We looked at the
passage from Mark 1:29-39 when Jesus went with
James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew;
Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever and
Jesus healed her. Following coffee, in session two, we
looked at the dry bones passage from Ezekiel 37, when
the writer was led into a valley full of dry bones and
they were brought to life.
A delicious lunch followed, and we had time to stretch our legs and chat generally or to
switch off completely. Session three looked at Acts 8, how the church was persecuted
and scattered following the stoning of Stephen. We looked at the similarities of that
scattered church and our own church life during Lockdown. How Zoom has been a
lifeline for some. But has left others isolated. What is the answer when we begin to
come out of Lockdown, what will the church be like, how will we react to people we
have not seen in person, for well over a year?
In our current situation we were grateful that it was a
zoom meeting, that we could fully participate in, but did
appreciate that others were not as fortunate as ourselves.
Yes, it asked questions, but the answer is always there
“Take it to the Lord in prayer”. We were both so pleased,
as we imagine are most people, that Irene felt able to
17share her testimony, and after sitting on the fence she is now firmly rooted with us on
the right side.
A good day with plenty to reflect on, so thank you Steve and Tricia, thank you Kevin
and Anne, and thank you to everyone who joined and made it a day to remember.
We were presented with the question at the end of the day. What have we learnt over
the past year? What advantages have we seen and what disadvantages can we learn
from?
The general opinion was that we have shared more services together as a benefice. We
have varied zoom services each week attended by over 40 people. It has therefore
drawn the benefice together working as one unit rather than four individual churches.
It is acknowledged however that some members do not join with these services and
will be wanting to continue as before lockdown. What is the answer?
Rita & Stuart
Having booked our places, we had various emotions from wondering, ‘What’s it
all about?’ to ‘Have we done the right thing?’.
Well, it’s fair to say we did the right thing.
It was good to take time to discuss and reflect on the way the pandemic has affected us
both individually and our outlook on church.
We realized that many things will change as we return to the church building, and as
always it is difficult to please everyone but we must look forward if we are to not only
to survive but grow.
It was so good just to take time out to be still and feel able to pray freely.
Can we recommend that everyone reads Romans 8, where
the Holy Spirit is working, it was working in abundance this
week end, such a gentle prayerful time with fellowship and
love.
We have been kept close to friends with Zoom who we
would normally see each week and think it has brought us
closer together.
Now we need to pray for ALL our churches and go forward as the first disciples did,
full of the Holy Spirit.
If God be for us who can be against us? (Romans 8 v31).
18Heartfelt thanks to Anne and Kevin Roberts; also Tricia and Steve for their
organisational skills, not forgetting Lucy for providing a super lunch.
Chris & Jo
It would be fair to say I was not looking forward to the Sanctuary Day! As soon
as I had put my name down I thought ‘what did I agree to that for? It will be too
Churchy. I won’t understand it. It feels totally outside my comfort zone. I haven’t got
time for this. There will be awkward silences.’
I was WRONG! It was a wonderful day and I am so glad I DID make time for it.
Originally planned as a face-to-face series of meetings, due to the current situation it
took place on Zoom. I think it would have been great face-to-face but it was also
excellent on Zoom - a media lots of us are familiar with.
We were given space to think, walk around, go get a coffee etc. Kevin and Anne
Roberts were fantastic leaders and I thought the whole day ran like a well-oiled
machine. There were different headings to the day – What is Sanctuary? What is
Renewal and how do we try and achieve that both personally and in Church?
During the prayer section we were asked to contribute but only if that was what we
wanted to do – there was no pressure at all. We discussed the impact of the pandemic
on the life of our Church – what we miss, what we don’t miss! We were encouraged to
be as truthful as we liked on that!! How will we move forward – do we really want to
go back to things being exactly the same as before?
I think the whole day brought up a lot of points for discussion. If the chance comes
again to do a day like this, please consider doing it – you really might learn a lot! Step
outside your comfort zone.
With thanks to Steve and Tricia for arranging this.
Deborah
Without a doubt, it was a day that touched the hearts of all those who attended
and many have said that they were changed by their experience of the
Sanctuary Day, not to mention the service led by Kevin on the Sunday.

and reflection about experiences in the pandemic, you can follow this link:

19No Longer Sitting on the Fence
I have said for years that, as regards Christianity, I have been "sitting on the
fence " and could fall either side of it. My Fellowship Group would confirm
this. I thought getting involved with lots of things regarding Church would
help (ie bellringing, reading lessons etc), but it didn't.
Well, on Sunday 28 February, I was sitting in my conservatory on zoom
Church when I suddenly felt very emotional, tearful, at peace and that I was
in the presence of Jesus. I didn't know what to do but felt I had to tell
someone. That person was Brenda Christmas, I sent her a text telling her
everything and not to laugh. She replied, “I'm not laughing, I'm smiling.” Still
unsure what to do I sent the same text to Lucy and she replied, “How
exciting! Would you like to meet?” So we met on Thursday. We had a walk
and talked about it and she said it was the Holy Spirit at work. I had a chance
the following day to chat with Peter Hodgson and he also said it was the
Holy Spirit at work. Later I had the opportunity of texting the same
experience to Sue Sheriff. She replied that she had always known God had
had a hand on me.
Consequently I am not sitting on the fence anymore and that I have fallen on
the right side of Christianity! Life will never be the same.

21Lent Challenge 2021 During Lent this year, I challenged myself to try to give up as much single-use plastic as possible – and to research and try more environmentally friendly products. Believe me, this was not as easy it might have been if we hadn’t been in lockdown! I have been asked to write a bit about what I have discovered as I have done this, so I thought it might be helpful to summarize what I have liked, failed with, changed, tried, won't ever touch again...! I love stretchy lids, wax wraps, doorstep milk deliveries, solid shampoo and conditioner, bars of soap (and either crocheted cotton or towelling pouches to put them in for the shower), loofah sponges for the washing up, proper dishcloths and smol washing capsules and dishwasher tablets. We have always been quite good at recycling as much as possible, but I've discovered more things that can be recycled – medicine blister packs, plastic bags from veg, fruit & salads, barely used make up and washing products. Some of these things need to be taken to a terracycle place or a large supermarket. I love buying my meat from the local butchers and taking my own containers, and my fish from the man who comes round to the house and using my own tupperwares again. I get fruit and veg where possible from a greengrocer – in paper bags. I like making my own yogurt and trying to cook as much as possible from fresh ingredients that don't come in plastic. I even buy loose bird food from the local pet shop now, straight into my own container. I have just started using solid block deodorant which comes in a cardboard tube and seems to be working so far! A friend has also just given me some local goat's milk soap which is rather nicer that I was expecting! I don't like solid washing up soap. If you can remember those lessons in school when you learnt about Victorian washing tubs and had to grate soap into them...that's what the water looks and smells like. I don't find it particularly appealing to think I am washing things which I use for cooking in that! So it’s back to liquid…but using refills rather than buying new each time. I also don't like bamboo toothbrushes or the thought of toothpaste tablets or powder (that’s me being very fussy about what I put in my mouth!) 22
I like looking back to 12 months ago and seeing that cards can now readily be bought
'naked' and that magazines are delivered in paper or compostable wrapping. Progress!
Some of these things are found online, others in independent shops or zero waste
shops…there are a few details below which might help you know where to look. Local
shops are often a good starting point – they have done much of the legwork for you in
selecting products that are worth trying. And, of course, you can usually walk to them –
another point in their favour!
I hope I have given a few things to ponder on. This is not about shaming anyone into
changing things when they don't want to. I still buy things which come in plastic, either
because there is no viable alternative (think cream here!!) or because I happen to like
them! And it can be more environmentally friendly buying something in plastic from your
local shop than driving a 20 mile round trip to get the same thing wrapped in card or
paper.
And we have to realise that changing isn't an option for everyone - things are often more
expensive or more difficult to source. And, yes, there is a valid argument that we need to
pay more to act on climate change, but we also live in a real world where that isn't
possible for many. I acknowledge that I live in a privileged place where I can afford to try
to make the changes, and the free time to research what is available...and, believe me, I
am very grateful that I can!
But perhaps if we all just thought about alternatives
and changed one thing (e.g. taking your plastic
wrapping bags from bread, veg, fruit back to your
supermarket costs nothing), it would make a massive
difference to our beautiful world.

23TIME IS SHORT ….
ETERNITY IS LONG
Some forty years ago I wound the
church clock.
As I cranked the two handles, one
for the chimes, the other for the clock,
I was reminded of some words from
‘Macbeth’, ‘Life's but a walking
shadow, a poor player That struts and
frets his hour upon the stage And then
is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.’.
It seemed that this daily discipline was the means of giving the town another
day to ‘strut’ and ‘fret’ before it became a mere memory, awaiting yet another
day to be wound into being.
We amass countless memories during a life time; some good; some not so
good.
Walking through the streets of Tadcaster and noticing a house I visited but
now with new occupants, I’m reminded of being involved with the Baptism of a
youngster whose life was about to unfold; or of those for whom I conducted a
funerals when time had run out. The passing of time would only serve to fade
the memory of their existence until they were ‘heard no more’, their name on a
gravestone worn into oblivion through many winters of frost, wind and rain.
We all have this common destiny. We can waste so much time regretting
unwise decisions we made in the past and forgetting the benefits we received.
The unchangeable past is finished. Nothing can be changed
except perhaps to restore a broken relationship before it is too late.
We can waste so much time worrying about the future which is mostly beyond
our control and out of reach.
We can however live for the present moment. NOW is our priority. Every rewind
of the church clock holds sufficient challenge until the weights are raised again
from the floor of the Baptistery and yesterday becomes today.
Jesus, in his wisdom, emphasised this.
His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel bursts with common sense.
‘Don’t worry’, he says.
An Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, endowed with similar wisdom says, ‘Seek
the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near’.
The past has gone: the future might be too late.
Therefore, NOW is the time to find him, because he is able to transform
Shakespeare’s empty ‘nothing’ into something of indescribable value.

We are doing our best to publish these in as time efficient manner as possible; if there is a name missing here that you were expecting to see then please see future issues of Focus. PETER NORGATE aged 80 Service at St. Mary’s Tadcaster on Wednesday 18th March 2020 Peter was born on 11th December 1939 at the family home in Tadcaster and lived his early years on Auster Bank. As a child, he played football and cricket and spent a lot of time in the fields and woods where, amongst many activities, he collected birds’ eggs. Peter attended Tadcaster Grammar and worked briefly at John Smith’s before moving to Bromet’s. Peter and Christine met in their teens at a dance in the Riley- Smith Hall and got married in 1964. Peter adored his family and lived a very busy life. He enjoyed holidays up and down the country, had lots of friends and always had dogs. He very much enjoyed looking after the garden. Having been very sporty in his youth, Peter was also a keen and lifelong supporter of Leeds United. MARY HINTON aged 91 Service at York Crematorium on Thursday 19th March 2020 Mary was born on 11th August 1928 and spent her early years in Quarry Bank (near Birmingham) where she married Harry in 1952. She never lost anything of her Brummie twang. Mary was a key part of the family at St. Mary’s Tadcaster; her faith was very important to her and she had friends at many different churches. She adored her own family and delighted at the birth of her grandchildren and great- grandchildren. BEN BARRY PARNABY aged 22, Ryther Road, Ulleskelf Service at York Crematorium on Wednesday 25 March 2020 'Ben Baz' was born with his twin brother Sam on 10 July 1997 to his parents Steve and Tanya; Ben and Sam joining their older brother Jack. Family was always incredibly important to Ben, dearly loved by his late grandparents and Barry and Rene Parnaby and grandad Ken; as well as nanny Wendy, who lives so close and was always on hand. As a wider family they would all gather with the other uncles, aunts and cousins at Barry and Rene's for Sunday lunch. If the children were poorly then they would be sent to Wendy's where Ken would read to them and teach them to dunk rich tea biscuits. A happy adventurous childhood for Ben from the days at Stutton Nursery, Kirk Fenton Primary and Tad Grammar to the days of independence and good times shared with friends as well as family parties and legendary gatherings. Ben was popular and full of life. He really enjoyed working 26
alongside his much loved dad, uncles and cousins. His tragic death hit the young
people of Ulleskelf and Tadcaster and surrounding areas particularly hard, especially
as lockdown came in and it was impossible to say a proper goodbye, but people took
to the streets to pay tribute to Ben. His nephew Beau Ben Parnaby born in August
2020 being named in memory of him. A year on Ben is missed by both young and old
alike and his wonderful smile will never be forgotten!
SHEILA NAYLOR aged 91
Service at York Crematorium on Wednesday 17th June 2020
Sheila moved to Tadcaster to live at Popple Well Springs and had a very happy 8½
years living there. Sheila was born in Bradford in 1929 and spent much of her
childhood with her cousins in the Yorkshire Dales, particularly during the war years.
Sheila met Clem in the late 1940s and they married in 1950, settling in Halifax. Sheila
and Clem, along with their children Christine and Susan, moved a number of times
before ending up in Nantwich, Cheshire. Sheila became very involved in church and
community activities and was very proud of her role as Churchwarden in the 1990s.
When unable to cope on her own, Sheila moved to be near family. At Popple Well,
she was a very regular attendee at the monthly Communion service and, through the
wonderful care that she received there, found a renewed quality of life.
CAROLE CARLTON-SCOTT aged 75, Beech Close, Tadcaster
Service at Tadcaster Cemetery on Thursday 2 July 2020
Carole was born in Leeds to Jack and Edna Hineson, her father's work taking them to
Brough and Doncaster. A happy childhood for Carole and her brother Peter. Carole
worked as a florist before meeting her future husband Peter at the Young
Conservatives, marrying on 16 March 1968. Starting at Spotbrough near Doncaster,
they fell in love with their home for over 47 years on Beech Close in Tadcaster, with
daughter Elizabeth very much the centre of their world. Carole looked after the
home, cooked amazing meals, and took an interest in all Elizabeth did, including
becoming Assistant and later Leader at Tadcaster Guides and District Commissioner
for Tadcaster and Sherburn. Carole also volunteered with WRVS, helped with church
fetes and provided the Christingles since 1986. Elizabeth and her husband John gave
Carole and Peter their beloved grandsons Daniel and Matthew who would head
straight for Grandma's biscuit barrel, an Empire Shortbread and a cuddle. She
supported Peter in all he did, whether with the Church or the Lodge. After Peter's
stroke he credits Carole with saving his life and in the latter years Peter certainly
repaid that devotion. They had wonderful holidays including since 1974 to the South
West of Scotland, and each February to the Annandale Arms in Moffatt. Her church
involvement started with St Mary's in Micklefield, with Carole being Confirmed at St
Mary's Church Wheatley Doncaster, before she joined the young wives at St Mary's
Tadcaster and became a Sunday school teacher.
27ANTHONY KETTERIDGE aged 87 Service at St. Mary’s Tadcaster on Thursday 16th July 2020 Tony was born on 13th November 1932 and spent his childhood in Boston Spa. From a very early age, certainly before teenage years, Tony and Lizzie were very close and they married when they both turned 21 in 1953. Tony was a keen footballer and fan. He played for Tadcaster Grammar School 1st XI football team and played for several local teams. He enjoyed watching Leeds United with his family. The family moved to Broom Road in Tadcaster where they watched their house being built from foundations up and moved in as some of the first residents. The rest of the houses went up around them. Tony had a number of jobs – a painter and decorator, work at the paper mill and with a flooring firm. He was a keen golfer in his work days and even won a works golf tournament. Family remember Tony as a very modest and honest man, greatly respected and admired and with a great sense of humour. DOROTHY EDITH DIXON aged 91, Hillcrest Tadcaster Service at St. Mary's Tadcaster on Thursday 30 July 2020 Dorothy was born on 25 October 1928 to Nancy and Arthur in Clifford. She shared a lovely early family life with her siblings Charlie and Alice. Dot was not keen on school but even in later years she was always very sharp when it came to money. Her short working life was at the bottling store at John Smith’s Brewery and she played cricket for Magnet’s Ladies and loved any sport. Dot met the love of her life Tommy in 1952 on a blind date to the speedway. They married in 1954 and not long after moved into their first home in Leeds road, Tadcaster. Their much wanted and loved son David was born on Tommy's birthday. Tommy & Dorothy spent a lot of enjoyable hours playing at Tadcaster bowling club and enjoying a good social life with 'the gang'. In 1982 David married Lyn who was absorbed into the family. 1995 marked the arrival of a much-loved grandson Matt who spent a lot of time with his grandparents building things in the garage, picking apples, playing cricket and having grandma's famous Yorkshire puddings. Family holidays to Jersey hold many happy memories. Dot stayed fiercely independent even after Tommy's death and with the help of family and friends kept her own space while enjoying family gatherings. Dot felt she had a perfect life and always knew how much she was loved. JOHN HAITHWAITE aged 89 Service at York Crematorium on Monday 14th September 2020 John was born in Saltaire, moved to Leeds aged 9 and then to came Tadcaster in 1964. The only time he strayed from his beloved Yorkshire was during the War years when he went to Worksop College and later his National Service years. John always wanted to be an Electrical Engineer and spent the last 25 years of his working life with Asda as their Chief Electrical Engineer. It was John’s sister, Anne, who 28
introduced John to Mary Rose. Anne and Mary Rose were best friends; the three of
them (“The Three Amigos”) tried out the new ice rink in Leeds. Needless to say, John
and Mary Rose were soon figure skating together! John and Mary Rose married at
Mochrum Parish Church in 1964. They moved into their brand-new home in
Tadcaster which started their love of DIY. Between the two of them they made and
built their own fitted kitchen, then moved on to the bedrooms, making built-in
wardrobes and dressing tables. John had many hobbies, but he was renowned for
having the latest gadgets. He was a keen photographer from an early age and was
the first in the family to get a cine camera, hi-fi and video recorder. During his
retirement John volunteered at Tadcaster Swimming Pool. Most important to John
was his family. Mary Rose and John were always very supportive of family and John
was a wonderfully kind and generous Uncle.
MARK WAYNE HICK ('Gigsy') aged 44, Auster Bank Crescent, Tadcaster
Service at St Mary's Tadcaster on Tuesday 22 Sept 2020
Mark was born to Ray and Christine on 17 July 1976 and joined by his brother Paul 3
years later. Put simply Mark was a 'proper little boy' – not keen on schooling but
great at sport. He was always a hard worker, even at Tad grammar he had a paper
round and helped out with milk deliveries. His early jobs included butchering, and at
Sam Smith's on the Drays until a back injury forced him to go driving instead for
various firms, becoming a mentor to other drivers. He really loved his sport, playing
football and darts for many local teams and loving any game with a round ball! He
met the love of his life and future wife Vicky when they were still young and he soon
won over his in laws Kath and Kevin. Vicky kept Mark on track and he always worked
hard for his family turning their house into an amazing home for them and their
totally adored daughters Olivia and Charlotte – Mark a natural and completely
involved dad. Tragedy struck when their much longed for son Joseph died and he
always remains in their hearts and minds. Some of their happiest times were
holidays at home and abroad shared with extended family and friends, with Mark at
the centre of the fun and fancy dress. Mark always made time for his mates and
following his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer family and friends went all out to make
sure Mark could live his best life and his legend lives on with the slogan 'Be more
Gigsy'!
JOAN ROSALINE WHARTON aged 92 of Old Brewery Gardens.
Funeral at York Crematorium on 7th October 2020
Joan Ward was born on 31st October 1927 at Chapel Street in Tadcaster, the oldest
of three sisters. She attended school at St Joseph’s on Station Road. Apparently, she
was not a good singer so she was often excused singing lessons at school and was
put in charge of watering the pot plants around the school while the class were
singing! Joan left school aged 14 and initially worked at the Co-op, a short walk from
29home. Later, she worked at Rowntree’s in York and managed to smuggle out one or two treats for the family. She soon met Maurice and after their courtship, they were married in 1954 at St Mary’s. It was a strong marriage, lasting over 60 years until Maurice died in 2014. Joan had a job at the glassworks in Tadcaster and then as a cleaner at Barnardo’s. Joan and Maurice initially lived on Station Road before moving to Field Drive and then for some 53 years on Old Brewery Gardens. They had a caravan in the Dales and enjoyed holidays there for many years. They also enjoyed cycling together and were often seen riding around Tadcaster and the local villages. Joan was a strong lady who knew her own mind. Although she and Maurice were not able to have children of their own, Joan was a special friend to many of her grand- and great grand- nephews and nieces. She became an honorary grandma and many of the family have very fond memories of AJ. DEREK MORLEY aged 85 of Westfield Terrace, Tadcaster Service at St Mary's Tadcaster on Wednesday 21 October 2020 Derek was born in Wintringham in Ryedale, the youngest of 6 children. His dad Fred was a farm manager and his mother Maud was housekeeper. They moved first to Ovingham then when Derek was 7 to Healaugh. Derek joined the West Yorkshire Regiment of the Prince of Wales Own when he was just 18 and served in Malaysia and Egypt. On his return Derek started working first for Sam Smith's Brewery and then John Smith's – a hard worker doing gruelling shifts. As a young man he liked his motorbikes and would ride to the Friday night dances in Tadcaster where he met Eileen. They were married on 21 March 1959 and went on to have their six children Graham, David, Robert, Claire, Trevor & Joannah. Tragically Robert only lived a few days and Joannah died at 39 years of age, something from which Derek never really recovered. A 'firm but fair' dad, Derek loved to take the children walking by the river or playing cricket in the street, loving to listen to the cricket on the radio. He had an interest in poetry, especially limericks! He loved and was loved by his 8 granddaughters, 2 grandsons and 3 great-grandchildren, leaving behind him many happy memories especially from when the family were young. Derek was well known on the viaduct as he could often been seen out there, longer ago with his little dog and always with a cheerful word, a smile and a story for whoever passed by. GEORGINA (INA) MARY SWANN aged 94 of Westfield Square, Tadcaster. Funeral at York Crematorium on 17th November 2020 Ina was born on 8th July 1926 in Bilbrough, one of four sisters. After leaving school, Ina worked as a cook at Askham Bryan College and also went to help set up the kitchen at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. In January 1952, at St Mary’s in Tadcaster, Ina married John (known as Ken). They enjoyed travelling and one summer, they cycled by tandem to Cornwall for a holiday together. Soon their sons Ken Jnr and then Colin 30
were born, completing the Swann family. Ina stopped work and became the home-
maker for the family, initially in the town centre but then on Westfield. In the early
70’s Ina went back to work as a cook at Tad Grammar School, and she also helped
out in the kitchen at The Bay Horse. She loved creating and icing wedding and
birthday cakes for family and friends alike. Ken Snr was secretary at Tad Cricket Club
for several years and this connection enabled Ina to become involved as she was
roped into making cricket teas! The players were always very happy to hear when
Mrs Swann was providing the tea! The camaraderie at cricket matches drew Ina to
the game and she developed a fondness for it over many years. Ina was a lady who
was easy to be friends with – she had many of them and never fell out with anyone.
VERA DE-NOBRIGA aged 81 of Tadcaster.
Funeral at York Crematorium on 14th January 2021
Vera Gregory was born on 13th June 1939 at Snape, to Noah and Annie, the youngest
of five siblings. She attended school in the village and was keen on music and
dancing: her piano lessons entailed a 3-mile cycle ride each way to her teacher.
Those lessons helped her when later in life she became a faithful church organist.
She met Basil, her husband-to-be, while he was serving in the RAF at Leeming and
they were married in 1961. After Basil left the RAF, Vera and he moved to Wembley
but returned to Yorkshire in 1972, making their home in Tadcaster. The family grew
to five with the arrival of Sheree, Lee and Kevin came along. Vera was a real
homemaker while the children were growing up, a self-taught seamstress and
knitter, making dresses for Sheree and knitting cardigans for the boys. There were
happy memories made during camping holidays on the east coast, Edinburgh and
Wales and subsequently, in Italy and Belgium. Vera also had her work commitments
– she worked evenings as a shop assistant in the fish and chip shops in Tad and even
graduated to become a partner in Clifford’s’ Fisheries. Later on, after she was semi-
retired, she took on the role of a home-help. She had plenty of close friends who
liked to meet up together regularly for coffee and a natter. She joined the Ladies
Forum in Tad and enjoyed days out to various places of interest. When she suffered
the grief of Bas’s death in 2015, the family rallied round and Pat (Bas’s brother) took
Vera under his wing, going out for meals and taking her shopping. She will now be
back with her beloved Bas.
AGNES EDITH BOND aged 90, of Westfield Crescent, Tadcaster
Service at St Mary's Tadcaster on 18th January 2021
Edith was born to Agnes and Walter Hobson when they were living in Hodgson
Cottages moving shortly afterwards to 14 Westfield Crescent. She had four older
siblings: Tom, Walter, Lawrence, and Jane as well as a younger brother Leonard who
sadly died in his 30's. They were difficult times but Edith considered she had a very
good childhood and really enjoyed singing in the choir at St Andrew's in Newton
31Kyme. She worked at Rowntrees from 1949 until 1956 when sadly her mother died and she took a few years off to care for her father, returning to Rowntrees part-time in 1960. Edith married Robert Bond on Coronation weekend, 6 June 1953 at St Mary's Church Tadcaster. They were very dedicated to their nephews and one niece, especially her sister Jane's son, Richard Gott – their home a second home for Richard. Bob and Edie shared a passion for gardening and loved their trips out with 'The Gardeners'. In 1970 Edie became one of the first women to sing in Tadcaster choir where she completed 50 years of dedicated service earning the nickname the 'lady of the robes' – also serving for 50 years on the PCC – raising thousands of pounds for the church through Webb Ivory catalogues, bazaars and coffees mornings. Tragically Bob died very suddenly after 50 years of marriage and Edie was heartbroken. They had been devoted to one another; when Edie learned to drive at the age of 58 she felt she could drive round the world with Bob at her side. Edie kept herself busy with family, some very good friends, holidays, her beloved Manchester United and Lucy her cat – her link to Bob. Edie always spoke her mind but was a wise and loyal friend with a warm sense of fun, as many can bear witness. On 23 November 2020 Edie turned 90 and because of the circumstances she was not able to celebrate and similarly we were not able to give her the send-off she truly deserved but maybe having received the Maundy Money from Her Majesty the Queen in York Minster in April 2012 went some way to showing how much she was loved and appreciated. 'Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord'. IAN DOWNIE PAGE aged 78 of Edgerton Drive, Tadcaster. Funeral at St Mary’s Tadcaster and at York Crematorium on 12th March 2021 Ian met Val, his wife at The Old Mill in Wetherby and they had 53 wonderful years of marriage together. They frequently travelled to Europe, including their honeymoon in Italy (which even made it into the local paper!). Ian especially loved South Africa – although he was nervous about the first trip he made there. His two daughters, Debbie and Amanda and four grandchildren were very special to Ian. There were some happy times spent together: there were always visitors to the family home and Ian was in charge of keeping friends and family entertained. He was often creative in finding ways to amuse the children and adults alike. One of Ian’s areas of expertise was in building a dam across the River Wharfe near Grassington, assisted by the children, moving boulders around to stop the flow of water! Ian was a keen writer and produced several interesting pieces about local history, a short novel and even his own autobiography. Information about pubs was Ian’s speciality and he even had 32
a retirement project to visit every pub in Britain. It was an ambitious project and one
which he took great pleasure in trying to fulfil! He had fond memories of times past:
the slower pace of life, less traffic, children playing outside and, generally, more
contentment with one’s lot. Ian led a very fulfilled, interesting and happy life, coping
for many years with a degenerative muscle-wasting disease but bore this with
fortitude until it restricted his activities. His love, patience, understanding, wisdom
and his sense of humour will be missed by his family and friends alike.
BARBARA MARY HACKFORD aged 70 of Oxton Drive, Tadcaster.
Funeral at St Mary’s Tadcaster and at York Crematorium on 16th March 2021
Barbara Mary was born on 8th April 1950 to Bob and Rosa Fox, the eldest of four to
her siblings Rosamond, Robert and Lesley. After leaving school, she became an
Apprentice hairdresser, but her career was cut short when she was diagnosed with
MS at the age of 21. She got a job at Samuel Smiths Brewery and at weekends, liked
catching up with friends at local pubs which is where she met David and he first
asked her out. They were married in 1977 at St Mary’s. They enjoyed their holidays
and trips out: one of the most unforgettable holidays was a trip to Russia with
Barbara’s sister, Lesley. In 1981, Barbara opened her Wool and Childrenswear shop –
the shop was a hive of activity with lots of customers, some of whom became lifelong
friends. She had time for everyone who entered her shop, both customers and those
just popping in for a chat. After the arrival of her only child, Rosie, Barbara continued
to work while her mum and Lesley helped out with childcare. Vicki was Rosie’s best
friend from the age of 5 and was a visitor to the home who almost never left. She
became part of the family, Barbara’s “second daughter” and Vicki considered Barbara
and David as “second parents.” In 2009, Barbara retired, closing her shop for the last
time. She was able to spend more time with her beloved dogs and enjoyed gardening
and knitting; and she would spend long hours on the phone to all her friends.
Barbara had a strong faith which she would gladly share with people who wanted to
listen to her – and probably with some who didn’t! But that faith sustained her right
to the end as she waited for the fulfilment of the promise of something better than
she could have possibly imagined.
STUART SIMPSON aged 72, from Manor Road, Tadcaster
Funeral at St Mary’s Tadcaster on Thursday 18th March 2021
Stuart was born in Long Marston. He met Carol, the love of his life and they got
married and started their first home in Woodthorpe, where Sarah was born. Then
the family moved to Tadcaster, where they settled and where Shane was born. After
school Stuart trained and excelled in passing his builder’s certificates. He worked as
an apprentice at Shepherds and then went self-employed. He was so good at what
he did, many people would ask for Stuart, as he was the one who could do the more
advanced ‘fancy’ brickwork. He helped to build the railway museum, one of many
33local buildings. Stuart was a family man and was devoted to Carol his wife and Sarah and Shane, then Sally and Steve and all his grandchildren. He loved getting together for a ‘Simpson do’, eating and singing songs from the musicals at the Italian restaurant. Stuart was really loyal to his friends too, enjoying being with them at the darts or on their ‘trip of the year’, the Grand National. Stuart was really caring and he could tell a good story and entertain his friends with his outgoing personality. Stuart’s other loves were football and music and travelling: Manchester United, ELO, The Eagles, Lionel Richie, and foreign travel with Carol to India, Mexico and Turkey plus family holidays closer to home. Stuart was poorly for a matter of five weeks. Going to hospital with suspected gallstones, they found aggressive cancer of the kidney. Stuart came home, which is where he felt the most loved and cared for. The family took it in turns to look after him 24/7. These were precious times. He felt really happy encircled by people who loved him dearly. Stuart died peacefully at home. The family will miss Stuart and yet they will hold onto the many vibrant memories of good times and together they will move on in the love they have for Stuart. SIR BRYAN ASKEW aged 90 of Golf Links Avenue, Tadcaster. Funeral at St Mary’s Tadcaster on 24th March 2021 Bryan Askew began life in a small mining village in County Durham where his father was the mine horse keeper. He remembers being taken down the pit, aged eight, by his father. On Bryan’s tenth Birthday in August 1940, a fire broke out at the mine and his father was killed in the attempts to rescue survivors. Bryan’s mother was left to bring up Bryan and his sixteen-month-old brother. He was a bright child and was able to skip a year of his schooling at the local Grammar School. Tragedy struck once again in 1947 when Bryan contracted polio while on holiday in Northumberland. He spent six weeks in isolation in Berwick-upon-Tweed and was left with a severely weakened upper body. When he returned to his schooling, he was determined to regain his strength and took up tennis. By the final term at school, he was elected Tennis Captain, on merit. Bryan took the Higher School Certificate in its last year before A-levels were introduced and was awarded a Scholarship to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. The Head of the University Health Service took a personal interest in Bryan’s health. At the end of his first year, he underwent a bone graft to his hand, the first operation of its kind. It allowed him to write well enough for note- taking but writing for his Finals was out of the question. He was given the help of a scribe to take his dictation and Bryan passed his degree. Later, his working life included positions with ICI, in the steel industry, running his own company and then Samuel Smith’s Brewery from which he retired as Personnel Director in 1995. He stood as an MP on three occasions but never made it to Parliament. He was part time Chairman of the Yorkshire Regional Health Authority for eleven years which led to his becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1988 followed by a 34
Knighthood for Services to Healthcare in 1989. He travelled to many parts of the
world, especially with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Third Commonwealth Study
Conference in 1968. He also enjoyed cruises around the Scottish coast and in parts of
Europe. In later years, he concentrated on charity work, as Chairman of both the
Tadcaster Swimming Pool Trust and the British Polio Fellowship. He also served for
twenty-three years in a voluntary capacity at Leeds University. As he got older, his
post-polio syndrome caused a physical deterioration in his muscles and some day-to-
day tasks became harder for him. It hit him and the family really hard when his
beloved Millie died in 2015; He struggled to come to terms with his grief and he
became a valued member of the Bereavement Group, Rainbow Through The Rain, at
St Mary’s. Last summer, in the middle of Covid, he reached his 90 th birthday and he
was able to share a lovely socially-distanced party in his garden with the family –
there were balloons, tea was duly delivered (including a cake from Betty’s) – and, of
course, champagne. His life has been one of extraordinary achievement in the face
of adversity from its early stages but his determination and humility have been an
example to us all.
PETER SCAUM aged 65 of Grange Road, Tadcaster
Funeral at York Crematorium on 29th March 2021
Peter was born in Stutton and grew up there with loving parents, Des and Jean, and
his brothers John and Chris. From the age of 15 Peter worked at Sam Smith’s
Brewery. He had many varied jobs during his working life there, working on
transport, other internal jobs and latterly kegging and packaging. Peter loved his
time at Sam Smith’s: his work ethic shone through and was commended with an
award after 25 years faithful service. Peter was disappointed when his diabetes
caused him to retire early. Liz met Peter in the early 80s and they married at Gretna
Green when they were both 50. Peter embraced being dad to Adele and Jenny and
this continued as the family grew. Peter used to make good use of every opportunity
to spend time with the family. Peter loved going to the Moors for picnics and he was
a wonderful baker; you could count on him for a lovely spread and his sausage rolls
and coleslaw were famous at family dos, as were his apple pies and cream cakes.
Peter’s love of family extended when grandchildren came along and he used to spoil
them as only a granddad can! Peter was that proud granddad who supported his
grandchildren at all the school shows and harvest festivals. Peter’s other loves
included Leeds Rhinos, holidays abroad, gardening on the allotment and baking. He
and Liz, along with friends visited Majorca, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, cruises on the
Med, New York and Canada, where he and Liz did a fly drive holiday, taking in the
sights of the Canadian Rockies. Each year Peter, Liz and friends would make a trip
out of the rugby final. These were great times for all couples. Down at the allotment
Peter’s green fingers would grow veg, flowers, and fruit, and he would give much of
his produce away. Peter was really kind hearted and generous with all that he was
35blessed to receive. Latterly Peter suffered because of his diabetes. The family told
me how they felt blessed to have Peter home for a couple of days after he’d spent 3
and a half weeks in York hospital with an infected leg. Unfortunately he needed
hospital care again because of more extensive organ failure but Liz, Adele and Jenny
were with Peter as he died and this brings them comfort. Peter will be dearly missed
but leaves a legacy in his loving family.
